The Tableau of the "Dream" in the First Act represents
"THE TYRANNY OF TERROR."
SCENE—FRANCE. TIME. 1794.
ACT I.—THE TERROR. Scene—The interior of the study of Paul Kauvar.
ACT II.—THE INHUMANITY OF MAN. Scene—Prison of the Conciergerie adjoining the Revolutionary Tribunal in Paris.
ACT III.—THE CONFESSION. Scene—The Grand Hall of the Chateau of Delaroche in La Vendée.
ACT IV.—ON PAROLE. Scene—Same as Act III.
Three minutes will elapse between Acts IV. and V.
ACT V.—"'TWIXT LOVE AND HONOR." Scene—Same as Act IV.
The Tableau which concludes this performance, and rivals in power and beauty the famous dream scene of the first act, represents allegorically
"THE CONQUEST OF EVIL."
It is a poetic picture, full of deep thought and careful study. The central figure is that of the Angel of Conquest, with one foot upon the prostrate fiend Anarchy, holding high that irresistible weapon of progress, the Sword of Light. The fiend carries in his hands the Torch and Flag of Anarchy, and with these is about to sink into the Abyss of Darkness.
